# Pickling machinery

class Pickler:

    def __init__(self, file, protocol=None):
        &quot;&quot;&quot;This takes a file-like object for writing a pickle data stream.

        The optional protocol argument tells the pickler to use the
        given protocol; supported protocols are 0, 1, 2.  The default
        protocol is 0, to be backwards compatible.  (Protocol 0 is the
        only protocol that can be written to a file opened in text
        mode and read back successfully.  When using a protocol higher
        than 0, make sure the file is opened in binary mode, both when
        pickling and unpickling.)

        Protocol 1 is more efficient than protocol 0; protocol 2 is
        more efficient than protocol 1.

        Specifying a negative protocol version selects the highest
        protocol version supported.  The higher the protocol used, the
        more recent the version of Python needed to read the pickle
        produced.

        The file parameter must have a write() method that accepts a single
        string argument.  It can thus be an open file object, a StringIO
        object, or any other custom object that meets this interface.

        &quot;&quot;&quot;

        The memo is the data structure that remembers which objects the
        pickler has already seen, so that shared or recursive objects are
        pickled by reference and not by value.  This method is useful when

        # the key in the Unpickler's memo.  The object is stored in the
        # Pickler memo so that transient objects are kept alive during
        # pickling.

        # The use of the Unpickler memo length as the memo key is just a
        # convention.  The only requirement is that the memo values be unique.
        # But there appears no advantage to any other scheme, and this
